“I felt thwarted by a particular obstacle . . . and
could see that I couldn't go any further . . . She described positioning her
naked body in the scene as an act of defiance ‘to being stopped’. Being a women, she said there were often
expectations including self-regulation and a wariness to enter certain spaces
because of a feeling of vulnerability.
‘So taking off my clothes was like a way of compensating for that, and
an act of defiance in occupying these spaces . . .” – Catherine Shields, http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-04/defiant-castlemaine-artist-reclaims-left-over-railway-spaces/7567456
“If walking in the woods I come upon a blackbird or a
coyote, my attitude is reverent wonder at their life and presence, not an
attempt to gauge just how ‘attractive’ they might be versus their peers. My ideal is we see fellow people like that - delighted
at their life force and personality, and adding in the details as an
after-thought; perhaps our fancy tickled by certain physical traits, but not to
the point of losing their personhood.” – Ethan Willard, http://modelsocietymagazine.com/the-embody-project/
“Many naturists feel a significant urge to be naked
whenever practical. It’s almost as
though being naked is an emotional ‘need’ that they have. . . There are often
many other ways to satisfy each need.
But in each case, nakedness can be
a key factor in the need satisfaction . . . If you happen to find a way that
being naked satisfies any of these needs (in a socially responsible way), then
the nakedness in effect becomes a need that you have. It’s analogous, for example, if you’re a good
musician who can satisfy some of your important needs by performing in front of
an audience. In that case, musical
performance becomes a real need for you.
It may be necessary to make a little or a lot of effort to find
opportunities to perform. But you will
do it because you need to. . . Naturists would
be well-advised to understand the reasons to consider nakedness a genuine type
of need, because they will be better able to explain to others exactly and
convincingly why they are naturists.” - https://naturistphilosopher.wordpress.com/2016/06/07/is-there-a-human-need-for-being-naked/
“There are people who masquerade as naturists in order
to attempt to attach some legitimacy to their sordid activities, but naturists
abhor such things. We believe that
naturism is a lifestyle that is worthy of respect. Anything which is inappropriate in any
ordinary public setting, except for nudity, is also inappropriate in a naturist
setting. Our morals are no different
from the rest of society.” – Bill Bowser, https://notquiteold.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/the-naked-truth/#comments
